yea, once I have a roll bar which I plan to get one toward the end of the year, I plan on trying to get in the 10s with this h/c/i and a but load of nitrous. get a plate system and run a 200 shot, haha see how long the bottom end holds up.


how you been buddy?

Get a progressive controller with the nitrous and you could keep that stock block around for quite a while... I like the turbo idea a little better!!

lame. Still bouncing back and forth between the ideas of a good c4 and a TKO600. :/

yea, I was thinking about that. just upgrading my nitrous kit to work much better, and buy two more bottles.

but a turbo seems like less hassle.... other then tuning, and working on the engine itself, as the turbo junk will get in the way.
